We were the enyied of all Observers; and one
man, not quite up in geography, said he
thought he would go with Us to London and
thence to Hamburg by rail When l ex-
planned that the railroad did not cross the
channel and that England was insular, the
poor fellow choked down a sigh and gave up

stomach; we descended 10 the tender, waved
farewell to the Rhaetia, her captain, crew
and passengers. and in fifteen or twenty min
